During the past few weeks, the French Alps have provided some of winter’s best skiing with several resorts recording between 40cm to 100cm of snowfall.

At base there is a solid 80cm of snow whilst the summit is capped with 120cm. This is reflected in the fact that 41 of 43 trails are open as well as 18 of the 19 lifts.
